Hi This is on behalf of my mother. She is 54 yrs old. She complained of having breathing problems since yesterday. So she took Inhaler today and by the evening she gulped out lot of Cough. Then said that she felt alright and the breathing issue had also decreased. Then suddenly tonight, after having her dinner she felt like choking, she said that she felt like the food was stuck in the lungs and she couldn't breathe. She coughed a lot, her face had turned red and after coughing and drinking water she said she felt at ease. She is already suffering from diabetes since the past 10yrs. Request you to share some advice on this.

She should have a proper examination of the chest . There may be some evidence of infection or wheezing sound. Get her Blood for CBC also done. After that a proper diagnosis and treatment can be initiated.
